Editor
Your editor application is listed on the Tools menu by name (for example, XMetaL, Arbortext, FrameMaker). Use this option to edit or view data in the editor application.
The Editor option is available only for objects that contain editor related data.
When the data is opened for editing, a short-term lock is placed on the object. The lock remains for the duration of the editing sessions and is removed when the editing session is over, that is, when you close the document. If you modify the data, you are prompted to indicate if you want to import the changes into Contenta.
If the object is already locked when you select this option, you are prompted to indicate if you want to open the object in read-only mode.
To place a long-term lock on the object, select the Editor Check Out option.
